 Definitive! September 7, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
When I first started studying Latin I made the foolish error of buying the Collins Latin Dictionary. Having been bitterly disappointed with it from the very beginning, I decided I'd do well to buy the Oxford equivalent. This is worlds superior in every way. It is, of course, limited by the fact that it is a 'pocket' volume (I would imagine that a colossal home version would be able to offer a great deal more), but for general use it is very generous indeed. In fact, I will be generous myself and assert that it is a great deal more concise and reliable than many pocket editions of dictionaries that I have had occasion to use. There is a considerable grammar section in the centre that is very valuable for refreshing a lagging memory. Of course, the market isn't considerable so competition is limited, but even so this dictionary can hold its own. Very good for general use.

This dictionary is a set text for my 3rd-level OU Latin course, but in my opinion it is not up to the normal OUP standard. Although edited by James Morwood, it seems to be the insensitive abridgement of a much larger work. Although the basic vocabulary is probably adequate, there are not enough phrases/idioms present, esp. on the English-Latin side. On the plus side, the print format is very clear, and the grammar section is quite good.
May suit some, but if you're really serious about the finer details, look elsewhere.
it is very uaseful,of course,i do like it May 25, 2001

This dictionary is enough to the common classic works,such as Caeser,Cicero,Virgil and others,as a postgraduate student of classics,I still think it is enough,in fact 90% readings,only when you want to go deeply,maybe you need a Oxford Latin Dictionary;this dictionary also including some grammer,when something you are not sure,you don't need a grammer book,just try in this dictionay. All in all,it 's a excellent work now.
